Since 1974, I've represented individuals who have been charged with committing criminal or traffic offenses. I represent juveniles and adults, including many college students.
My past cases include clients who could receive a death sentence to clients facing only a fine. The great majority of my cases fall between those extremes including drug offenses, involving kilos of contraband to residue, felony and misdemeanor assaults, weapon offenses, robbery, larceny, homicide, sex offenses, misdemeanors and traffic matters including driving under the influence.
I provide confidentiality, communication, and preparation for each case I agree to handle. I take my work and obligations very seriously while seeking the best result for each client.
My criminal defense practice areas are:
Drug offenses including possession; possession with intent to distribute; distribution
Traffic offenses including driving under the influence; reckless driving; driving with privileges suspended
Assaults including misdemeanor and felony offenses; domestic assaults
Homicide
Robbery
Juvenile offenses
Theft including embezzlement; grand and petite larceny
Firearm and weapons offenses
Expungement of arrest records (case dismissed or nolle prossed)
Appeals with the Virginia Court of Appeals and Virginia Supreme Court
Restoration of driving privileges
Alcohol offenses
Misdemeanor offenses
I have always been on the defense side of the criminal justice system. The government has great resources to aide in the prosecution of a criminal matter. I believe my experience helps equalize the criminal justice system.
